Next schema change release: May 15, 2014

We have quite a few clean-up tickets in this batch and a handful of improvements — some of the improvements are a lot of work, but won’t seem that way on the surface. However, the one major new feature we’re going to add are Series. Series will allow us to mark a set of releases as belonging to a series (e.g. Now this is what I call crappy music!). This has been a long long requested feature and we’re finally at a point where we can implement this.

The good news about this release is that a large number of the tickets are already implemented! The big tickets are still in progress, but the smaller ones are already in review. We’re hoping that we’ll have a less hasty push to the finish line this year with lots of time for testing. And we’re hoping for ponies too! :)

That query will show non-schema-change tickets, too, in the future, as random other tickets get their fix version set to 2014-05-15. It might therefore be preferable to include the actual list of tickets in the blog post.

Perhaps the script that formats ticket numbers/titles for the release posts can be reused for this?
